During the show, the panelist ditched the studio, chatting with guests and interacting with fans in an outdoor carnival-themed episode.

The panel – consisting of Natalie Morales, Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Sheryl Underwood, and Jerry – was joined by commentator Nischelle Turner to discuss the awards show and more.

During the episode, they had to hold mics in their hands, which isn’t typical.

Early in the episode, Natalie threw to Nischelle, saying: “Grab your mic, Nischelle because we will not be able to hear you otherwise,” but it appears her warning was lost on Jerry, 48.

While discussing Sheryl Lee Ralph’s big win at the show, the actor attempted to chime in.

He appeared eager to speak – so much so that he forgot to grab his microphone first.

Noting the mistake, he quickly apologized and corrected himself.

“Sorry. I have to hold the microphone out here. I’ll get this TV thing down, I promise,” he joked.

SAD SONG

It’s been a season of change for the show, with production opting to switch up the theme music.

Fans have been vocal in their feelings about the show’s new theme and it’s clear they’re not loving it.

The song, titled Good Company (The Talk Theme), premiered on September 12 for The Talk’s 13th season.

Andy Grammer- well known for his hit song Honey, I’m Good- performed the theme song, which has a similar upbeat tempo to his hit. 

The Talk posted a video of the song’s premiere and captioned it: “Nothing like starting off Season 13 with a NEW theme song by the talented Andy Grammer!”

The show’s hosts Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Jerry O’Connell, 
Sheryl Underwood, and Natalie Morales danced around the stage with huge smiles on their faces while the song played.

While the hosts of the show feel like they’re in good company with their co-hosts, their fans on Facebook weren’t kind to the new theme. song.

“Worst theme song ever,” one person wrote, as another added, “Awful.”

Some fans spread the love, but couldn’t get on board with the song: “I love Andy and I love The Talk but NO NO NO on the theme song- just the worst!”

Another said: “I love The Talk but please, I think you tried a bit too hard…”

The show also lost some viewers over the new theme: “I can no longer identify with this show.”

TALK HISTORY

The theme song chaos isn’t the only drama from the show as it comes after Sharon Osbourne was fired from the program in March of 2021. 

This occurred after she had an on-air fight with current co-host Sheryl.

In Bethenny Frankel’s podcast, Just B, Sharon said she was angry at CBS for the way she was let go from the show. 

She told Bethenny: “I can honestly say – now I hold no hostilities against anything that was done to me, except for CBS, and I will never forgive that network.”

The Talk hit another rough patch after beloved executive producer Heather Gray died at the young age of 50. 

Heather was at the show for 11 years until she passed in July. 

The previous season of the show ended a week early because of her passing.

After the season ended, it fell to last place in the ratings when compared to other talk show giants like The View. 

Hopes have been high that ratings will rise since the massive cast shake-up.
